Cookie Policy & User Consent

Ballia Corpus (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies on the LyonsBarry® website. This Cookie Policy and User Consent page explains what cookies are, how and why we use them, and your choices in managing them. We adhere to global privacy laws including the EU GDPR, California CCPA, India’s DPDP Act, and Singapore PDPA, and aim to provide a user-friendly experience that meets worldwide compliance standards.

By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you can disable non-essential cookies as explained below. We do not use any cookies for e-commerce transactions or user login accounts (our site has no shopping cart or sign-in features), and we do not sell or share personal information for profit.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit. These files store modest amounts of data specific to you, which can later be retrieved by the website or third-party services. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and collect information about your browsing activities. They help provide a better, faster, and safer experience by, for example, recognizing returning visitors and understanding how you interact with the site.

There are different types of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies – Essential for the website to function (e.g. security or network management). Without these, the site might not work properly.

  • Analytics/Performance Cookies – Used to collect data on how visitors use a site (pages visited, time on site, etc.) to improve functionality and understand usage patterns.

  • Functionality Cookies – Remember user preferences (like language or region) to provide enhanced, personalized features.

  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies – Track browsing habits to tailor advertising and measure ad campaign effectiveness. They may record visits to the site and share that information with advertising platforms.

On our LyonsBarry site, we primarily use Analytics and Advertising cookies. We currently do not utilize personalization Functionality cookies, and we use no Strictly Necessary cookies beyond basic technical needs (since our site does not have login or e-commerce features). All cookies used on our site are either for analytics or advertising attribution, as detailed below.

How We Use Cookies

Analytics and Performance: We use cookies to understand how visitors find and use our website, which pages are popular, and how we can improve the user experience. This helps us refine our informational content and marketing efforts. The data collected includes non-personal details like page visits, duration, browser and device information, and referring sources. These analytics cookies do not collect your name, email, or contact details, and we do not use cookies to store any of the inquiry form information you may submit on our site. All personal data (such as your name, email, phone, city, country, company, etc.) that you provide via inquiry or RFQ forms is not collected via cookies – it is sent directly to us when you fill out those forms. We handle such data according to applicable privacy laws (see our Privacy practices), and it is used solely to respond to your inquiries or requests.

Advertising Campaign Attribution: We also use third-party cookies to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising on search engines and social media. When you click on one of our ads (for example, on Google, Facebook/Instagram, X (Twitter), or LinkedIn) and arrive at our site, cookies from those platforms help us know that you visited via the ad. This allows us to determine which ads are successful and to attribute inquiries or conversions (like a submitted form or a specific page view) to our ad campaigns. We do not use these cookies to profile you or retarget you with personalized ads beyond basic attribution, but the third-party providers may use the data for their own analytics and ad personalization (see each provider’s policy linked below). Importantly, we do not perform any cross-site or cross-device tracking on our own – we only utilize the data in aggregate to improve our ads and website. We do not share the cookie data with unauthorized parties or combine it with other databases to identify you individually.

No E-Commerce or Login Cookies: Because our site is informational and redirect-based only (with no shopping cart, payment processing, or user account login), we do not use cookies for managing user sessions, storing preferences, or processing transactions. You will not find cookies for remembering passwords, items in a cart, or other e-commerce related functions on our site.

No Selling of Data: All cookie information we collect is used strictly for our internal analytics and advertising performance measurement. We do not sell your personal data to any third party. Any data sharing that occurs is only with the third-party analytics and advertising services described below, and only for the purposes stated. In other words, data collected through cookies is only used to support our site’s functionality and marketing, and not to monetize your personal information.

Cookies We Use and Why

Below is a detailed list of the cookies and tracking technologies used on the LyonsBarry website, along with their purpose, duration, and links to the providers’ own cookie policy pages for more information. All of these cookies are set by third-party providers that help us with analytics or advertising. We list the main cookies by name (or category) for each service:

  • Google Analytics (Analytics Cookies) – We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to collect information about how visitors use our site. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga, _gid, and others to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance. For example, _ga persists for about 2 years and helps identify unique visitors, while _gid lasts 24 hours and tracks daily visit activity. The information collected is aggregated and anonymized – we cannot identify you personally from it. Provider: Google. For more details, see Google’s Cookie Usage Policy and Analytics Privacy guidance. (Google may store analytics data on servers globally, and it is subject to Google’s privacy policy.)

  • Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram Cookies) – We use the Meta (formerly Facebook) Pixel on our site, which places cookies to understand and measure traffic from our Facebook and Instagram ads. Key cookies set by Meta include _fbp and fr. The _fbp cookie (typically lasting around 2–3 months) helps deliver our advertisements to people who have visited our site when they later use Facebook or Instagram, and it provides analytics on ad performancedigitalmediateam.co.ukdigitalmediateam.co.uk. The fr cookie (also about a 2-month lifespan) is used by Meta to identify browsers for the purposes of providing advertising and site analytics; it helps show relevant ads and understand if you return to our site via a Meta addigitalmediateam.co.uk. These cookies allow us to recognize repeat visitors from Meta platforms and ensure our ads are reaching interested users. All data is collected and processed by Meta Platforms in accordance with their policies. Provider: Meta (Facebook). For more information, see Meta’s Cookie Policy. (Meta may use this data to improve ad targeting within its platforms, but we do not receive personal identities from this cookie data.)

  • X (Twitter) Conversion Tracking Cookies – We use X (formerly Twitter) conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our Twitter ad campaigns. When you click an ad on Twitter and come to our site, Twitter may set a cookie called personalization_id (and similar cookies) on your browser. This cookie helps Twitter and us determine that you performed an action on our site after viewing or clicking our ad on their platformpwc.compwc.com. The data collected allows us to know, for instance, that X number of people who saw our Tweet ad later visited our inquiry page. According to Twitter, conversion cookies are not used for personalized ad targeting and typically persist for a limited time (about 30 days by default for the conversion tracking)pwc.compwc.com. Provider: X (Twitter). For more details, see Twitter’s Cookie Policy (noting that Twitter may process this data in accordance with its privacy rules, and data might be used in aggregate to improve their ad services).

  • LinkedIn Insight Tag (LinkedIn Cookies) – Our site uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track visits and conversions from our LinkedIn ads and to gain insights into our B2B marketing campaigns. This integration sets LinkedIn cookies such as li_fat_id, AnalyticsSyncHistory, UserMatchHistory, and others when you visit our site from a LinkedIn ad or with LinkedIn’s browser cookie present. The li_fat_id cookie is a LinkedIn member identifier used for conversion tracking, retargeting, and analytics of our LinkedIn adspwc.com. Cookies like these typically have a lifespan of 30 days up to 6 months, depending on their function. For example, AnalyticsSyncHistory and UserMatchHistory may last around a month to track your interactions with our site and ensure any ad conversion is recorded, while cookies like li_gc or lidc might last a day to maintain routing or preferences. These LinkedIn cookies help us know how many people clicked our LinkedIn ads and took action (such as filling a form), and they may enable us to later retarget visitors with LinkedIn ads. Provider: LinkedIn. For more information, see LinkedIn’s Cookie Policy which details all the cookies LinkedIn sets and their purposes. (LinkedIn may use data from these cookies for ad personalization within its network; we only see aggregated reports such as ad impressions and conversions, without personal identifiers.)

Important: All the above cookies are set only if you interact with our site in ways that trigger them (for example, arriving via an ad, or in the case of Google Analytics, simply by browsing our site). We do not set any third-party cookies without an associated purpose. We also want to highlight that we have no direct control over these third-party cookies once they are set. Each provider (Google, Meta, Twitter, LinkedIn) handles the data collected through their cookies per their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies (linked above) to understand what data they collect and how it’s used. We do ensure that we configure these services in privacy-friendly ways where possible (for instance, we do not use more intrusive tracking features like advanced matching or demographic tracking in Meta, and we honor any “Do Not Track” signals or consent parameters that these platforms provide).

Your Choices: Consenting or Opting Out of Cookies

Your trust is important to us, and we want you to have full control over your data. You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies (aside from those strictly necessary for basic site function). Since our site’s cookies are not strictly necessary, we will only use them with your consent. Here’s how you can manage your cookie preferences:

  • Browser Settings: You can disable or delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when new cookies are set. Please refer to your browser’s help section for specific instructions on managing cookies. If you disable all cookies, our site will still be mostly usable (since we don’t rely on cookies for core features), but the analytics and ad attribution functions described will be turned off. For example, if cookies are blocked, our Google Analytics will not record your visit and our ad partners may not register that you’ve come to our site via an ad.

  • Opting Out of Analytics: If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on your visits. You can download and install it from Google (available for most browsers). Additionally, you can use your browser’s Do Not Track feature; we honor such signals where our analytics and ad scripts are able to detect them.

  • Opting Out of Advertising Cookies: Each advertising platform we use offers opt-out choices:

    • Meta (Facebook/Instagram): You can adjust your ad preferences in your Facebook account settings so that Facebook doesn’t use data from partners (like our site) to show you targeted ads. You may also use the Web Choices opt-out to opt out of Meta and other companies’ tracking cookies for interest-based advertising.

    • X (Twitter): You can modify your privacy and safety settings in your Twitter account to limit ad personalization. Twitter also honors the DAA’s AdChoices; see Twitter’s privacy settings for opting out of tailored ads.

    • LinkedIn: You can control the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag data in your LinkedIn account settings under the Ads section. LinkedIn allows users to opt out of personalized ads and has an opt-out link on their site for cookie targeting. More info is available on LinkedIn’s Ads Settings page.

    • Additionally, you may use industry-wide opt-out sites such as the NAI Opt-Out or Your Online Choices (EU) to globally opt out of many advertising cookies from participating networks.

  • Cookie Consent Page Usage: Because we do not use a pop-up banner, this Cookie Policy page itself serves as our consent mechanism. We encourage you to read through this policy and make an informed decision. If you continue to use our site without disabling non-essential cookies, we will assume (where legally permissible) that you consent to our use of cookies as described. However, if you are in a jurisdiction (like the EU) that requires an explicit opt-in, and you have not provided such consent, please either refrain from using our site’s non-essential features or use the opt-out methods above. At any time, you can withdraw consent by clearing your cookies or changing your browser settings to block cookies moving forward.

We want to emphasize that opting out of or blocking cookies will not affect your access to the informational content on our site. You can still read about our products and services, contact us, or request quotes – all without cookies. The only difference is that our analytics and ad partners will not receive data about your visit. We strive to make sure that even if you decline cookies, your experience on the site remains complete and unhindered.

Compliance with Global Privacy Laws

We designed our cookie usage strategy to comply with major data protection laws and regulations around the world. Different jurisdictions have specific requirements regarding cookies and personal data, and we aim to meet or exceed those standards:

  • European Union (GDPR) & UK GDPR: Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (the “cookie law”), non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) can only be placed on a user’s device with their prior informed consentcookie-script.comcookie-script.com. We respect this by providing clear information here and requiring your consent (by way of continued use or other opt-in mechanism). We do not activate analytics or marketing cookies for EU visitors until they have had a chance to read this policy and opt in (if we were to strictly follow GDPR, an explicit consent would be ideal – we recommend EU users disable cookies if they do not consent, due to our no-banner approach). Any data collected via cookies that can be considered personal data (like online identifiers, IP addresses, etc.) is processed under the legal basis of consent as per Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. We also ensure that data from cookies that might be transferred outside the EU (for example, to the U.S. for processing by Google or Meta) is protected through appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) as required by GDPR. Additionally, you have GDPR-granted rights regarding your data collected via cookies: the right to access it, rectify it, or request erasure or restriction of processing. (Note that cookie data is typically pseudonymous and we may not be able to link it to your identity without additional information, but we uphold the spirit of these rights nonetheless.)

  • California (CCPA/CPRA): Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and the right to request deletion of their personal data, among others. In the context of our site, the information collected by cookies (e.g. identifiers, internet or network activity information) may be considered personal information. We do not sell personal information (we don’t exchange data for money). We only use cookie data with our service providers or for our own advertising purposes. However, some sharing of cookie data with third-party advertising partners could be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. If you are a California resident, you can opt out of this sharing by disabling advertising cookies as described in the opt-out section above (this is equivalent to a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” request for cookie data). We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for California residents—if your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out of sale/sharing request for cookies and will not load non-essential cookies. All other CCPA rights (access, deletion, non-discrimination, etc.) are also respected. To exercise those, you can contact us at care@balliacorpus.com. Because our site does not require account registration or handle sensitive personal information, the scope of data we hold on any individual is very limited (mostly what you may have submitted in an inquiry form).

  • India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023): We comply with India’s DPDP Act and any rules thereunder. This means we process personal data of users in India in a lawful and transparent manner. For cookies, we treat the placement of analytics/advertising cookies as a form of data processing that requires your consent (unless exempted for strictly necessary service). By using the site and not opting out, we consider that you have given consent for the above-mentioned cookies. We ensure that your data is used only for the stated purposes (analytics and ad attribution) and is not retained longer than necessary. Typically, cookie data auto-expires as noted (e.g., 30 days, 2 years, etc., depending on the cookie) and we do not actively extend that retention. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by opting out as described. If you withdraw consent, we will cease the processing of the relevant cookie data. If you have concerns or requests regarding your personal data (including data collected via cookies or data you provided in forms), you can email us at our contact address. We have appointed the contact above to also function as our Grievance Officer for the purposes of the DPDP Act – any grievances or complaints can be directed to that email and we will address them in a timely manner. We also implement reasonable security measures to safeguard all personal data (including cookie identifiers) in our control, as required by the law.

  • Singapore (PDPA): In compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore, we obtain consent from users in Singapore before collecting or using their personal data through cookies. By reading this policy and continuing to use our site without opting out, you are deemed to have consented to our use of the aforementioned cookies for their stated purposes. We do not use the cookie data for any purpose outside of what has been notified to you here. If at any point you wish to withdraw consent, you may do so by disabling cookies or contacting us to assist – we will cease collecting your data through cookies after withdrawal. We also want to assure Singapore users that we take steps to protect any personal data we handle. Cookie data may be transferred to our analytics and advertising partners’ servers which could be outside Singapore; however, we will ensure that such transfers comply with PDPA’s requirements for overseas data transfers (for example, by relying on the partners’ robust data protection commitments and international compliance certifications). As our site primarily collects minimal personal data, the risk is low, but we remain committed to safeguarding your privacy. You may contact us to inquire about your personal data collected via cookies, and we will respond as required by PDPA.

  • Other Regions: This policy is intended to be globally applicable. Even if you are outside the EU, California, India, or Singapore, we endeavor to respect the core principles of transparency, consent, and data minimization. For example, residents of countries like Canada, Brazil, Australia, etc., can also contact us with any questions or requests regarding cookie data and privacy – we will happily assist in accordance with applicable laws. Our goal is to foster trust and allow all our site visitors to feel safe and informed about their data.
